My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 318 The Terror of Three Calamities and Nine Disasters

Are there children on the dark web?

That's right!

Yes, there are!
However, this "child" was not what He wanted.

So when he saw this damned child walking back to his side step by step, a hint of disgust and murderous intent flashed in Dark Web's eyes.

The evil god, however, paid no heed and merely sneered, "Mother, I'm back!"

The dark web coldly stated: "[Dark Brahma, I've said it before, you are not my child, you are merely my tribulation!]"

There are countless calamities in the world, and the more one ascends to immortality and attempts to change the world, the greater the calamities one will suffer.

When a deity reaches the pinnacle of the Dao and begins to enter the realms of Mahayana, Daluo, and Buddha, they will suffer the supreme heavenly tribulation, ranked first on the list of heavenly tribulations—"Three Calamities and Nine Disasters."

The three calamities differ slightly due to the different methods of attaining enlightenment.
For example, Buddhist practitioners, in their pursuit of enlightenment and transcendence, must overcome the calamities of water, fire, wind, and emptiness.
Taoist cultivators, because they cultivate the way of combining internal and external practices, must overcome the calamities of the transformation of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

As for the Great Golden Immortals of ancient times, whether they cultivated the Chan Sect which followed the mandate of Heaven or the Jie Sect which seized heavenly secrets, they all had to overcome the calamity of the change of the three balances of Qi, destiny, and fate!

The three calamities are unpredictable, but the nine difficulties are constant!
When Heaven uses the Three Calamities to destroy your path, it will also use the Nine Tribulations to drag you back into the mortal world.

For example, the first of the nine difficulties is the difficulty of being forced to eat and wear food. It seems to be just about food and clothing, but in reality, it means that you are affected by your livelihood and it is difficult to concentrate on your cultivation. Simply put, how can you cultivate immortality if you don't have money?

Therefore, the more you cultivate, the more you need to earn and spend money. You must spend money, otherwise your cultivation level will immediately drop, cutting off your path to the Great Luo and Great Accomplishment!
And this is just one of the disgusting methods that Heaven uses to restrict cultivators from reaching the pinnacle of the Dao!

When you reach the second of the nine tribulations, Heaven will begin to target those around you.

For example, the difficulty of being obstructed by elders means that your parents will try to hinder your cultivation, which is called "the elders causing trouble". Even if your parents were normal people before, their personalities will change drastically after you attain enlightenment. They will constantly try to harm you. For example, if you are a minister in the Heavenly Court, your father may flirt with the wives of other ministers.

Anyway, once you overcome the tribulations of "three calamities and nine tribulations", no matter how humble and polite your parents were, they will definitely try to harm you. They will specifically target enemies who can oppose you. You can't ignore them, or your cultivation level will immediately drop.

At this point, a clever cultivator might ask, "Cultivation takes a long time. If your parents die when you succeed, won't it be alright?"
sorry!
Your parents will be resurrected by the Heavenly Dao!

Moreover, if you are something like grass, wood, metal, or stone that attains enlightenment and were born before heaven and earth without parents, then congratulations, the Heavenly Dao will arrange for you to have parents and forcibly solidify cause and effect.

In short, the main tactic is to rip you off without hesitation.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Nine Difficulties!
As long as a person is alive, they will be bound by nine difficulties; these things are the unavoidable "cause and effect" in human society.
The Heavenly Tribulation manifests the cause and effect in human society, specifically targeting cultivators at the peak of the Dao Integration stage, attempting to cast them back down to the mortal realm.

If the Three Calamities were meant to destroy the gods, then the Nine Tribulations were meant to make the gods turn back into humans.

So, apart from issues like food and clothing, and obstruction from elders,
The ninth difficulty is the difficulty of being entangled in fame and fortune, which will make you tempted by fame and fortune;
There will be unexpected disasters and calamities, and various unforeseen obstacles and calamities.

The difficulty of having a blind teacher to guide you means that your teacher might ruin your foundation.
There is a risk of making mistakes in discussions, which may cause the cultivators around you to become jealous and obstruct you. For example, if you are a minister in the Heavenly Court and are about to reach the peak of Dao Integration, the other ministers and deputy ministers who have not yet reached the peak of Dao Integration will be influenced by the Heavenly Dao and will try to trip you up in various ways. They will then target you politically.

The difficulty of losing one's will can cause cracks in your Daoist heart, making you want to lie down all day long.

The passage of time may shorten your lifespan, making the experience required to reach the peak of the Dao longer than your lifespan.

Of these nine difficulties, the most disgusting is the difficulty of being entangled in loving relationships.
Because it will bind you to love and family!
Simply put

—It will make you "have a baby"!
That's right, it's literally giving birth!

Back then, the Dark Web focused solely on cultivation, ruthless and unattached, never marrying or having children. He was on the verge of defying the heavens and becoming a supreme being, reaching the Great Luo realm and transcending the mortal world.

As a result, the hardship of being bound by love and affection amidst the "three calamities and nine difficulties" arrived.

One day, while He was cultivating, a piece of flesh fell off His body and transformed into the Dark Brahma evil god before us!
So you can understand why even a detached and ascetic like the Buddha has descendants.

Descendants will be a calamity!

Having one child can severely deplete your energy, having two can seriously damage you, and if you have a whole litter and let them reproduce, there's bound to be one that will "trouble your father or grandfather" and become an obstacle on your path of cultivation.

Therefore, the descendants born in this way are also called descendants born of calamity, and are an important part of the descendants of divine blood.

Moreover, generally speaking, lower-level deities will deliberately leave behind the handle of their bloodline descendants for various reasons, so that their leaders can feel at ease.

Only those truly top-tier true gods, such as the Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, the Five Elders of the Five Directions, and some super-powerful beings like the Great Luo Golden Immortals, would suffer the hardship of being entangled in love and affection at the peak of the Dao Integration stage, leaving behind calamity-born descendants!

Even top cultivators on the Dark Web cannot escape the three calamities and nine tribulations, which is why this damned guy, An Fan, was "born" from the Dark Web!

She was never at peace when the dark web kept her hidden in the sea of ​​information. Fortunately, we could still use "education" as a pretext to lock her up using the rights of a guardian.

But now that she's an adult, she's out of control, so the dark web has no choice but to release her and find a way to make good use of her, fulfilling the "cause and effect of a society based on human relationships and the right to inherit bloodlines!"

But it turned out just as I expected!

This brat almost killed Li Wei, His favorite "entertainer," as soon as she appeared, causing the Dark Web's blood pressure to soar several degrees, with people exclaiming how terrifying the Nine Difficulties were!
It's no wonder this is a tribulation specifically designed for top-tier cultivators. The Dark Web looked at this woman born from tribulation and wished it could slap her to death!

But no way,

Who told this person to be my calamity! The Dark Web must play the role of a mother. Not to mention loving and protecting her, at least I cannot actively and intentionally kill her, otherwise it will cause my hard-earned realm to collapse and fall from the Mahayana realm.

This is the most ruthless aspect of the Heavenly Tribulation!

If you have money, they'll make you lose it; if you don't have parents, they'll find you new ones; if you don't have children, they'll give you one, so you can once again enjoy the "joy of family life"!

Then they will constantly slander, defame, frame, and harm you, causing your former teachers to bind you daily, bringing misfortune upon you, shortening your lifespan, and preventing you from reaching the end of your lifespan.

In short, it's about doing everything in your power to turn you back into a "mortal" through "social relationships," and you have to accept the constraints of these social relationships in order to master the power of the peak of the Dao!

Thus, the great masters, the Buddhas, and the great enlightened ones, while transcending the mundane, were in another way bound back to the realm of "humanity."

The Way of Heaven is truly profound!
You want to transcend, right?

Row!
Take back the three mountains of consumerism—parents, children, and others—and put on the tight-fitting clothes of teachers, friends, and colleagues. Then, step into the quagmire of fame and fortune, and I'll make you transcend!

In a sense, this also proves that the Heavenly Dao is indeed powerless against beings like the Great Luo and the Great Vehicle, which is why it resorts to this method to disgust people.

For example, right now, the dark web feels disgusted.

After defying his mother's will, the Dark Brahma Evil God became even more fearless, continuing his rebellious and willful ways:

If you didn't want to give birth to me, why did you undergo tribulation in the first place?

[You won't even let me kill a lowly mortal? What kind of mother are you?]

[I don't care! You're stuck with this mess because you gave birth to me. I'm already doing you a favor by doing what you asked me to do. You old bastard, don't push your luck!]

Dark Web:
That bastard deserves to die!
Oh no! This is a calamity of three disasters and nine tribulations stirring up the fire in my heart!
We mustn't kill her.

This is Heaven's test for me. It wants me to lose control and take action, so that I will fall from the Mahayana realm and lose the power of the peak of the Dao Integration realm.

Given the nature of the Dark Web, it would never be easily affected by such a trivial matter. But there's nothing that can be done; this wretched daughter is a calamity, capable of easily stirring up its emotions and causing it to make wrong judgments.

Therefore, the Dark Web proactively retreated behind the scenes, saying to Mara: "I am currently influenced by the woman of the calamity and am no longer acting rationally. I entrust the rest to you!"

Seeing this, Bo Xun could only sigh helplessly.

Every family has its cupboard.

Your rebellious girl from the Dark Web may be terrifying, but she's no match for my Calamity Witch!

That brat doesn't properly give alms to those suffering every day, but instead runs off to become a nun in a Buddhist temple, saying she wants to find her roots!
As a result, she was regarded by the Buddhas as the hope for "liberating Mara" and was directly honored as a contemporary Buddhist disciple. Then, her bloodline became the mouthpiece for the great Buddhist masters to liberate Mara.

For over 20,000 years, Mara has heard chanting from Vulture Peak every day, and has been thoroughly annoyed by the swarms of stinking flies.
Unfortunately, this wretched daughter likes to side with outsiders, and she often goes back to Mara to beg for alms, which she then uses to support the Buddhas of Mount Sumeru.

Those Buddhas who are already rich don't need your help?

Mara changed his secret stash several times, but he still couldn't hide it from Tianjie's daughter, who could always guess Mara's secret stash through a mysterious "father-daughter connection".

Heavenly Tribulation: Is it hard to guess?
So later, Mara preferred not to keep a single penny for himself, but to give it all to his subordinates or to do charity.

So strictly speaking, the reason why the charity cause in the Three Realms has developed so quickly is largely thanks to that woman who robbed us.

No!

When Mara thought of his daughter, he felt a surge of anger and quickly suppressed his emotions.

Now that Li Wei is alive and we have achieved our objective, let's retreat for now!

Mara clasped his hands together and suddenly unleashed endless Buddhist light, engulfing the stars.

The gods of Heaven suddenly lost their sense of their surroundings.

Once their senses returned, they found that Mara, the Dark Web, and other evil gods and demons had vanished from their sight!

Within the vast, cursed heavens, only fragments of small, shattered grottoes floated and drifted, along with countless corpses, telling tales of those battles.

Shang Hao waved his hand, scooping up the debris from the starry sky, and then addressed all the gods: "These deceased examinees need to be properly buried, but this incident must be contained with all our might!"

I don't want to see any information about this in tomorrow's newspapers!

The gods nodded solemnly: "Understood! We will do everything in our power to block the news!"

The Heavenly Emperor thought he had it all figured out, but when he received the newspaper the next day, he was nearly driven mad with anger and couldn't help but let out an furious roar in the Lingxiao Palace.

[Damn it!!! Is this how you block information?!]
